Summary: I Love this Film!
Review: AND GOD SPOKE is my favorite movie ever. But don't let that stop you from seeing this great film. This movie is put together very well. Its funny, but not exactly "ha ha" funny. Aside from the hidden social commentary, this movie is full of cameos from worthless washed-up celebrities. My favorite is Soupy Sales as Moses. The plot isn't mindboggeling. Two second rate filmmakers try to make an epic picture about The Bible (the "All time best seller"). Their ineptitude and pride get in the way of any progress. The multi-million dollar film gets dropped by the studio and the two finish it independently.

I can't say enough about this movie. The humor is subtle at times and slapstickish at other times. At its very least, AND GOD SPOKE is an entertaining parody of a Hollywood that few of us will ever see.

Summary: Fledgling Filmmakers, Take Note!
Review: Anyone who has dreamt of trying to direct or produce his or her own film will appreciate this little gem. It's not hard to see a little bit of the vanity of your own dreams in the two lead characters. What is amazing is the fact that these guys are setting out to make a 'Biblical Epic' and neither of them has apparently ever picked up a Bible! This makes for some very funny and embarrassing moments in the film. I found myself laughing out loud at the filmmakers, while still having a great deal of empathy for them. The movie has a (kind of) great surprise ending also. Definitely worth the ten dollar admission price.

Summary: "...And God Spoke" spoke to ME!
Review: Great little sleeper of a movie that seems to be gaining cult status. When Matthew Perry ("Friends") was once asked about "Waiting for Guffman" (another mockumentary released about the same time) he said there a much funnier one out there called... you guessed it..."...And God Spoke." Well-written, with a lot of inside jokes about the kind of very low-level Hollywood film-making you don't hear much about on ET... the straight to video kind...that will still amuse people not "in the business."

When two extremely low budget film-makers are suddenly blessed with a $40 million dollar budget to make a Biblical Epic for a major studio, they find themselves WAY over their heads at the first call of "ACTION!" It's all downhill from there (for them, not for the audience) Extremely well-written, hilarious movie, adequately directed. Got kind of lost in the bigger press surrounding "Guffman," but like I said, seems to be gaining a large cult following.

Summary: The most underrated film in the history of cinema
Review: I am proud of myself being one of the few audience who have actually seen this little gem at a movie theater in Westwood, California in the early 90s. This movie knocked me out. Totally original, actually this is the first film that I saw claimed to be a "mocumentary." I just loved it. One of the 10 best films on my list. I loved every actor in the film. If you have experience on movie sets, you will understand what this film is talking about. There are movies on Hollywood" or "filmmaking," such as "The Player""The Big Picture." This one is better than those. Shame it's not available on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ...And God Laughed
Review: I had heard about this film for a long time. Then, after I finally got the video from this fine website, I settled down to watch it. I laughed out loud!

It's the story of a team of independent filmmakers who decide to make a Biblical epic as their next movie. Having Soupy Sales as Moses, Eve Plumb, ("The Brady Bunch"), as Mrs. Noah, and Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk") as Cain, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.

A laugh-riot, "And God Spoke" is also a good insight on the world of independent filmmaking. I highly recommend it, and wish I could give it more than just five stars.

Summary: "We'll fix it in post"
Review: I love this movie and have been waiting for it to come to DVD for awhile. It's a 'mockumentary' about a director/producer team and their efforts to make a biblical movie and follows them from the movies' inception to its' 'big' premiere. One of the more endearing aspects of this movie is how clueless the producer and director are to how awful their movie is, during filming and watching dailies and how hard they struggle to keep it going, even after their studio funding dries up.

If you like 'This is Spinal Tap', 'Waiting for Guffman', or 'Best in Show', then you will enjoy this movie. I don't want go into details, as that would give away the jokes, but just rent of buy this movie.

I was a little disappointed that this movie was only available in the full screen format, but it's still better than my worn VHS copy. Also, there are no extras on this DVD...I mean none, not even a trailer. I would have liked to seen some production notes or something, but there you go.

Summary: Some Minor Qualifications
Review: I won't bother to summarize the plot, but I will say a few things.

It's not a perfect film...a few things (the studio exec, the cop) don't ring true. However, those things aside, I love this film.

It's a hilarious mockumentary detailing the making of a Bible movie by two Jewish filmmakers. This minor detail is never mentioned in the movie, but it informs a lot of what happens, such as no one knowing how many disciples Jesus had.

Basically, it goes like this: if you like satire and witty dialogue, you'll like this film. I'd reccomend it to fans of movies as diverse as the Player and Dogma. If you like big slapstick comedies, avoid this like plague.

Personally I like both. But a friend who loves the Farrelly brothers above all things found it boring. So be warned, grasshopper, before taking a plunge into 'the greatest non-denominational bible story ever filmed. Special discounts for religious groups."
